After a meeting with DuPuy on Friday, Angelos 'opposition softened as negotiations centered on protecting his franchise and Maryland's investment in Oriole Park at Camden Yards, which is about 35 miles from Washington.

The partners remained superior in manner, though unable to conceal a natural resentment; they had adopted "Oriole" not out of a sentiment for the city of Baltimore, nor, indeed, on account of any ornithologic interest of theirs, but as a relic left over from an abandoned club or secret society, which they had previously contemplated forming, its members to be called "The Orioles" for no reason whatever.
